6. Weird Situation

Representing... a new chapter!

"Psst... psst... Pikachu..." I heard someone called me. Pikachu?

Definitely Alex.

"What?" I snapped at him.

I can't help it, I'm feeling really sleepy.

Also, History class is boring. Correction, the teacher is. Mr Brooke kept droning on and on about things that we could have just read in the textbook.

Not to mention the sudden buzzing of my classmates will wake me up everytime I almost doze off which is annoying.

I know I shouldn't be sleeping in class but I can't keep my eyes open.

"Someone's a little cranky today..." Alex said in a teasing tone.

I heard Danny silently laughing beside Alex. I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up!" I snapped.

"I take it back. Someone's really cranky today." Alex said.

"Wanna talk about it?" Alex offered when I ignored him.

"Keeping it all bottled up isn't good you know?" Alex tried again.

"Well, I was about to go to bed yesterday when someone decided to show me a night that I'll never be able to forget." I snapped.

Alex and Danny kept quiet. That's when I realized that the class was quiet and had heard what I said.

A part of me wish that this is a comedy show, where they will turn on that awkward silence cricket sound.

At least you know that you're just acting for laughs and it's all fake.

"Talking in class now, Ms Williams?" Mr Brooke asked me in front of the class.

I kept silent, knowing that it's best not to talk back .

"It's bad enough that you failed this class test so please refrain yourself from talking about your sex life in my class."

What? Talking about my sex life? I don't even have a social life.

I heard low murmurings among my classmates.

'I can't believe it'

'She did that? I thought she's innocent'

'Maybe she's not as innocent as you think'

'This is gold'

'What did her family think of this?'

The comments burned my ears.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Alex stood up, steering everyone's attention to him.

"You have a problem Mr Gold?" Mr Brooke asked.

"Yeah I have." He answered

Everyone looked shocked. Who isn't suprised when you talk back to the teacher?

"You have no right to assume that she is talking about her sex life... or anything at all." Alex stated.

"And all of you" he looked at everyone. "You guys should know better than to believe in that shit."

He just defended me. That was... unexpected.

"And this concerns you because?" Mr Brooke asked.

"I was the one that kept her up all night explaining History to her." What?

Now the students were all looking at me. The murmurings were getting louder.
